So, I do all the work to my 88 STX, it runs drives everything. Finishing touch was to put the carpet in. The truck ran great and consistently until then. Went to go start it to move it a day later, and it would not start. I get no spark while the engine is cranking, however i noted that the spark comes in strong as soon as you get your hand off of the key and the motor is still spinning. I assume that means the ignition switch is bad? Literally no spark until I told my brother to stop cranking while I looked at the tester. The TFI is newer, and the coil works. Any ideas guys? When I shut it down nothing weird happened. Never even saw this coming.
